    Whole heartedly agree with this. As an immigrant, back home, everyone knew Jordan, Michael Jackson and Mohammed Ali. I’ve even watched Ali’s fights on VHS tape (if that’s the correct term for the old video tapes) back in the 80s when I was a little kid. I did the same with Jordan’s games later on. I’ve listened to Jackson songs and danced (horribly) with them (to them?). In my country now, hardly anyone knows James, or any of the new generation.
